Description	April Morning is a 1961 novel by Howard Fast, about Adam Cooper's coming of age during the Battle of Lexington. One critic notes that in the beginning of the novel Adam is "dressed down by his father, misunderstood by his mother and plagued by his brother." In the backdrop are the peaceful people of Lexington, forced "to go into a way of war that they abhorred."While the novel was not originally written as a young adult story, it has increasingly been assigned in middle school English and social studies classes, due to the age of the protagonist and author Howard Fast's meticulous efforts to recreate the texture of daily life in colonial America and the political currents on the eve of the American Revolution.In 1987, a film version was made for television starring Chad Lowe as Adam and Tommy Lee Jones as Moses.
